Fun with Photoshop

[groovychk]

Learned a neat trick in Photoshop. How to bring color back to a black and white version of a picture. This is of me and Rick at DragonCon. The red eyes are just red-eye from the camera. But it looks neat when isolated like that.

So, how do you do that? I have some old black and white pics of myself, naked of course, and if I colorised my penis, I think they would make GREAT Xmas presents for my family :)

Heh. Charming.

You need a color version of the pic and you have to desaturate it and then use the history brush to paint the color back in the select area. Still need a steady hand and have to zoom in a lot but it's pretty cool.

Nice trick. Y'all look kind of evil. Being at DragonCon, I suppose that's appropriate. *L*

Yeah - it's funny how that red-eye turned out SO red :-)

Considering the rest of the pictures is mostly black and white, I can see it looking that way. *g*

That's really a great pic, Ginny. Looks like you were enjoying yourself.

Merry Christmas to you and those close to you and all the best for 2007!
